Manuraptor- race

Manuraptor

The manuraptor people are native to the plane of
dinosaurs. They are a mixed folk, with a wide variety of ideologies and
cultures. They are to their plane what humans are to the mortal realm- ubiquitous
and varied.

Personality:
Manuraptors are much like humans- adaptable, diverse, and ambitious. They are
also just as short lived, which makes them look toward the future rather than
the past in most cases. Other than that, every manuraptor is different.

Physical
description: They typically are about 4 to 5 feet high, being more bent
over than the race of man, but they are very long, often measuring nine to ten
feet from the tip of the tail to the tip of the snout. They look like most
other members of the Dromaeosauridae family, especially their cousins, the
velociraptors, except for one big difference- hands. They have four fingers and
a thumb, like most sentient species, although, unlike most other sentients,
they have claws. They come in many colors,
depending on where their ancestors came from- mottled green for jungle, yellow
for sandy deserts, and grey for rocky coastlines, along with many other camouflage
shades. Now that the necessity of blending in is part of the past, new shades
have been evolving, and many manuraptors have a penchant for tattoos. They have
no hair, but a northern variety is covered in feathers.

Relations: No
other intelligent races are native to their plane, but many pass through,
making the manuraptors accepting of outsiders, for the most part.

Alignment:
Manuraptors of all alignments can be found.

Manuraptor Lands:
The plane of dinosaurs is home to many prehistoric beasts. Only a small amount
of it is colonized by the manuraptor race, but the areas that are tend to be
safe and civilized. Many other races are found in their lands, some having come
to the plane accidently, others deliberately. Many pass through their plane on
the way to other planes, as it is somewhat of a planar nexus, with many portals
and thin spots between the planes.

Religion: Most
manuraptors worship Anu Rex, the primary manuraptor god, but some worship
Tyrannus, his evil younger brother. However, other gods are worshipped, both
native and imported.
